What should I do if I fall behind on a one-year Bible reading plan?

Instead of trying to binge-read ten missed days at once, simply adjust your timeline. Use a reading calculator to spread the remaining chapters over a longer period, or add grace days to your schedule so you can read at an unhurried, prayerful pace.

Is it okay to not read the Bible every single day?

Yes. While daily time in the Word is a beautiful habit, missing a day does not disconnect you from God's love. Incorporating a weekly Sabbath or buffer day into your reading plan can actually help prevent burnout and make your quiet time more meaningful.

How can I memorize Scripture more easily?

Setting a Bible verse as your phone lock-screen is one of the most effective ways to memorize Scripture. Because we check our phones dozens of times a day, a custom wallpaper keeps God's promises in front of your eyes and guards your mind against anxiety.
